Hello there,

I am am planning to get a b60-67mm adapter so I can use some filters on my Hasselblad 500cm. Problem is once the filters are on I won't be able to use my b60 lens hoods or lens caps.

I was hoping to add a filter then step down back to b60 to solve this problem but no such filter seems easily available online.

Has anyone had this conundrum before? How did you solve it?

Cheers.

I use B60-to-67 and a lens hood at the same time.

For lens cap, if leaving the filter in place you can use a regular 67 snap cap.

Hi Brian,

Are you using a generic lens hood? I thought the b60 hoods screwed into the interior b60 coupling of the lens.

Hasselblad lens hood fits to the external bayonet of the lens, whereas the filter adapter connects to the internal bayonet.
